The Bins and Sole breathe endless possibilities into their Inspiration EP. It starts off with the single of the same name where Sole’s stream of consciousness style rapping is complimented by a similar stream of consciousness sounding combination of sampled beats. The Bins samples everything from jazzy piano riffs to heavenly strings to East Asian sitars, and what sounds like a cacophony of a selection actually comes together into a harmonious meditation on inspiration. Sole’s rhymes ride these beats like waves and his ideas surf along them as he raps for the 99%, the downtrodden, and those who need the inspiration to have the courage to “do what you love.”
